Whew, it's done. Writing is hard. I wrote about 2,560 words on GDQ's event with SNK, the internal disputes and clashing feelings on the community involved, what the purpose of a protest serves, and how we can avoid giving our actual enemies real ammo when arguing.

Facebook telling me I can't opt out of their data collection anymore...

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

Nothing like filing a bug report, only to be told "That's not a bug, you made a mistake. But there's a second mistake in your code that reveals an unrelated bug" 🤦‍♂️

Gonna be streaming entries for the Mario Builder 2 Year Anniversary contest tonight. www.youtube.com/live/-oWbFAC...

I can't update because the updater is running. Cool.

Wrong dark world #deltarune #twinrunes

If you're curious what a non-preservationist gaming ecosystem looks like, you can look at the mobile stores, where most of the shit you remember does not exist in any form anymore.

#DELTARUNE SPOILEERSSS possibly the funniest chapter ever bro

DELTARUNE CHAPTER 5 SPOILERS . . . . this was the most important character in the entire chapter to me btw

#undertale #deltarune My fallen human designs!

Starting a new run in Undertale and... why is it so different? This is NOT how I remember it. Who even is this guy??? #deltarunespoilers

you make me stronger #DELTARUNE #deltarunespoilers

#deltarune #deltarunespoilers I swear he's doing this on purpose

Tough pill to swallow:

I imagine this happening in a Shar-animated universe 😋 (Quick doodle before I pass out 🫠)

#Deltarune I would recognize @insaneintherainmusic.com’s music anywhere.

This week I learned Photoshop can slut-shame. So I spent a video testing Adobe's moderation system, seeing what triggers it, and discovering that Photoshop may be judging my outfits harder than half the internet - youtu.be/sWcnBBrJ5cw

See y'all on the other side. #Deltarune

-You can't just say "you can talk to me" but never go out out of your way to encourage that -Only having one person supporting you is a great way for you to both get hurt -Sometimes you have to be insufferably persistent to get through to people Etc etc

I think it's funny how all the TADC finale discourse is over basic media literacy and I've yet to see a single person talk about how the whole show is a metaphor for the do's and don'ts of support networks

A special message from the Digital Circus cast ✨

AI has started blocking the Wayback Machine from chronicling the web. Considering that nearly 40% of websites disappear after 10 years, this will enforce a giant loss in collective memory.

Legitimately I think it's important to have trans/gay reps who are complex, messy, sometimes aweful people, just the same as anyone else Because they're human just like anyone else We got plenty of bojacks and walter whites. We can have some Jaxes.

okay I think I figured it out

Get loved, idiot. #tadc #jax

Jax if she wasn't a huge piece of shit.

I love how Caine realizes he can't make the humans forgive him. Unlike how he acted before his episode 8 breakdown, he's realized other people's feelings aren't a puzzle he can control or solve.

As promised, here’s a thread of my extended thoughts on Digital Circus and its finale! I tried to organize these as best I could, but I wrote a ton so apologies if I’m rambling. Spoilers, of course, and my words are my own - not speaking for Goose, anyone at Glitch, or my castmates. Enjoy!

Even though it's literally been my job for 6 years, I often forget the Deltarune I work on and the Deltarune everyone keeps talking about are one and the same. It's a good thing too, because if I started thinking about how many people are gonna play it I'd. Oh. Oh god. That's. Ah. Oh no. No no no n

@duckaislop.bsky.social The AI list has Marvel Rivals listed as "Gen AI currently used", but the linked article makes it sound like suspected AI use rather than a confirmation. Is this classification intentional?

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

@duckaislop.bsky.social I maintain an AI blocking project "Stevo's AI Blocklist". Would you mind if I used your list of games as reference to potentially add support for Steam?

Reddit is doing summaries for subreddit discussions now. (Presumably via AI?) r/NintendoSwitch is summarized as "Disappointment with Mario Kart World and Metroid Prime 4". Those games came out 6+ months ago. In reality, most posts for the past week have been about the last Nintendo Direct.

Finally got AI image filtering working on Pixiv. This has taken up 2 weeks of my life.

People sometimes ask me when Silicon Valley really turned bad. I always say: although it's a continuum, there was a distinct change in 2008-2009, when the Wall Street bros saw their scam collapse and moved west to start it up again.

How long it takes and how hard it is to undo the damage will depend in large part on the political will of the people elected to do it. If you get hand-wringing caveat peddlers who want to deliberate for years before acting it'll never happen. Plan has to be ready on day one

Introducing........ The Pigeon Bag!!!! 🎉🐦 Available for preorder this Saturday, National Pigeon Day! 🪶

I don’t feel great about TADC coming to Fortnite. I was glad to support Ep9 getting a theatrical release, but this feels like a bit of a gut punch. www.vice.com/en/article/a...

On this day in 2010, "Xenoblade" was released

I signed up for a free trial of Google Workspace to test some AI filters before cancelling. Now, Google is emailing me about unpaid invoices despite me cancelling. I can't login to the account, so I have no way of paying. The "Contact Us" button doesn't work because I have to login first.

during my Subathon, my good pal @williaso.bsky.social surprised me with a Completely Original Quiz, except the questions were all about ME www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRsI...
